"Will you find me in Jianye during the falling flowers season?"
Little Yu 'er was a romantic by nature. Although she was about to leave, her heart still softened when she heard these words.
"Mom."
Xiao Rongyu handed her daughter who was sleeping soundly to Lv Yuqing. "Xiao Chen asked me to go downstairs for a walk."
"Oh."
Lv Yuqing didn't pay much attention to this matter. She was thinking about another problem recently.
"Little Yu 'er ~"
Lv Yuqing followed her to the elevator and said, "I've been thinking for a long time. Why don't I go to the US to accompany you? Otherwise, I can't let go."
"Why are you still thinking about it?"
Xiao Rongyu turned her head. "Didn't we already agree that Grandma Zijin will accompany you to the US?"
"But I've already retired. There's nothing to do in the country."
Lv Yuqing said, "Besides, your dad and I have a feeling that Chen Hansheng seems to be urging Liang Meijuan to go there on purpose. He won't be plotting something, right?"
"Mom, you're thinking too much!"
Xiao Rongyu shook her head helplessly. Chen Hansheng's behavior that night was indeed a little abnormal, but it could just be a sign of fatigue or depression.
As for "plotting something", what was his purpose?
"Why don't …"
Lv Yuqing took a step back and said, "I'll go to the US with Liang Meijuan."
"No, no!"
When the elevator slowly rose, Xiao Rongyu reached out to comb her mother's hair to the back and joked, "Deputy Director Lv, you've been working too hard this year. You can take this time to have a good rest. After that, you can go back to your hometown to visit your relatives and take care of Director Xiao."
Lv Yuqing was the Deputy Director of the Power Supply Bureau before retirement. Little Yu 'er called her by this name to liven up the atmosphere.
"Ding ~"
Before long, the elevator arrived. Xiao Rongyu walked into the elevator and tilted her head to make a peace sign with Lv Yuqing. "Let's go. Bye bye ~"
"This girl is still so immature even though she's a mother."
After the elevator went down, Lv Yuqing stood in the corridor and sighed lovingly.
When Xiao Rongyu went out, she was wearing a light pink Nike hoodie and a pair of white sneakers. Her high ponytail swayed from side to side, and her sweet dimples were full of youthfulness. Who would have thought that this beautiful girl was already a mother?
Sometimes, Lv Yuqing would think that her daughter was still in high school. However, the cries of Little Yu'er in the crib constantly reminded Lv Yuqing — — Deputy Director Lv, you are really a grandmother!
"I'd better apply for a new visa."
Lv Yuqing walked back into the house and coaxed her granddaughter. She was also silently calculating in her heart.
Although Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu didn't think it was necessary for the two mothers to go, and Liang Meijuan was very trustworthy, Lv Yuqing still felt that they needed to be prepared.
If something happened in America, or if he missed his daughter and granddaughter, he could fly there directly.
… ….
After Xiao Rongyu came downstairs, she put on her baseball cap. Not far away, Chen Hansheng was waving his hand to greet her.
The temperature in Jianye in April was very comfortable. Chen Hansheng was also wearing a comfortable and loose hoodie, sitting on a chair in the neighborhood with his head lowered and playing with his phone.
They sat together, and their appearance was very much like a fashionable pair of university students. It was impossible to imagine that one was the chairman of Nutshell Electronics with a net worth of billions, and the other was the director of a famous law firm in Jianye.
"When you just came out, you still had a smile on your face. Why did it disappear now?"
Chen Hansheng looked at Little Yu'er and asked, "You don't like me that much?"
"No."
Xiao Rongyu explained, "My mom always worries about nothing at home, so I deliberately pretended to be relaxed. In fact, my heart is not relaxed."
Now, the relationship between Chen Hansheng and Xiao Rongyu was very strange. Perhaps it was because they were going to be separated in two days, but they didn't hide their feelings from each other.
Xiao Rongyu was very lively in front of her mother, but she dropped that layer of disguise in front of Chen Hansheng.
"Why don't … you stay here?"
Chen Hansheng stroked Xiao Rongyu's back, "You should stay here."
Under the baseball cap, Xiao Rongyu was silent for a while, then said softly, "If Little Yu'er wasn't here, I might not leave. In the future, I will focus all my energy on my career …"
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng nodded. He understood the meaning of this sentence.
If Chen Zijin wasn't here, even if Xiao Rongyu wanted to leave, she wouldn't go abroad. At most, she would avoid him.
However, after having a daughter, because Chen Hansheng was too famous in China, Xiao Rongyu would still take her daughter away in order to not let Chen Zijin find out the truth when she grew up.
In fact, it was not that Little Yu'er couldn't accept the truth, but that Xiao Rongyu couldn't accept Shen Youchu and Chen Zipei.
But generally speaking, which woman could accept it?
The two of them fell silent again. The atmosphere downstairs was very lively. There were often elementary school students who had just finished school chasing and playing. They accidentally brushed against the freshly bloomed flower buds by the roadside, and the petals fell all over the ground.
"Let's not talk about this today."
Xiao Rongyu raised her head. She didn't shake off Chen Hansheng's hand. She took a deep breath and said, "You said that you would take me out to enjoy the falling flowers in Jianye."
"Yes! Let's not talk about this today. "
Chen Hansheng stood up and naturally held Xiao Rongyu's hand.
Xiao Rongyu didn't refuse. She grabbed the familiar yet strange man and followed behind him with small steps.
Occasionally, when they passed by the manhole cover of the sewer, she would hold Chen Hansheng's arm and jump over it. Then, she would laugh happily. She was really like the cheerful and lively Little Yu'er before the Asura War broke out.
Chen Hansheng whistled to show encouragement. The two of them seemed to have completely returned to their previous mode of getting along.
Under this "mode", Chen Hansheng took Xiao Rongyu to several of the most famous flower-viewing spots in Jianye. From afternoon to night, they swam in the sea of flowers. They didn't talk about the bumpy past or the difficult future. They just wanted to turn the present into eternity.
At around 9 pm, they arrived at the Xianning campus of Eastern University. This was the end of Xiao Rongyu's youth. It also had a special meaning for the last stop to be here.
The century-old school was full of traces of time. The French parasol trees on both sides of the road always had a romance of the Republic of China. The bell of Jiming Temple rang out slowly, telling the historical atmosphere of the ancient capital of the six dynasties. However, the famous "Northeast Roasted Cold Noodles" beside the teaching building pulled everyone back to the 21st century.
A group of university students surrounded the cold noodles stall. Everyone was lining up in an orderly manner. Their eyes were fixed on the sizzling iron plate, and occasionally, they would swallow their saliva imperceptibly.
From time to time, there would be students who had finished playing basketball or participating in student union activities. They passed by loudly with their companions. Not long after, they heard a sentence, "Our pretentious student union president …"
Chen Hansheng was familiar with it and found it funny. When he was in the University of Finance and Economics, he was often scolded like this behind his back.
"Do you want to eat?"
Xiao Rongyu pointed at the cold noodles and asked. Chen Hansheng was not particular about food and could fill his stomach when he was hungry.
In the past, when they were in love, Chen Hansheng said with a smile that Xiao Rongyu would make him roasted cold noodles three times a day after they got married.
However, Little Yu 'er was very proud. She turned her head and replied, "I don't make these things!"
In the end, after returning to the dormitory at night, she searched for the recipe of roasted cold noodles on Baidu. She wanted to try her cooking in the dormitory and even dragged the bitter Bian Shishi over to try it.
In the end, she successfully tormented Shishi until she had diarrhea.
Little Yu 'er was too embarrassed to tell Chen Hansheng about these things. Chen Hansheng would never know that his unintentional words had a deep imprint in other people's hearts.
"Let's not eat."
Chen Hansheng waved his hand. "We still have to queue for a long time. I miss my daughter too."
"Then let's go home."
Xiao Rongyu did not force him because she missed her daughter too.
On the way back, Chen Hansheng drove while Xiao Rongyu sat in the front passenger seat. The mottled street lights flashed across their faces and they fell silent again.
They still had to face reality.
After returning to the riverside apartment, Little Yu 'er rested after eating her fill. Chen Hansheng bent down happily and kissed his daughter's cheek.
"Smack ~ Smack ~"
Chen Zijin was somewhat awakened by the noise. She smacked her pink and tender lips and even used her chubby little hands to wipe her face in her sleep. Then, she fluttered her long eyelashes and fell into a deep sleep. She was so adorable that one really wanted to take a bite out of her.
Xiao Hongwei and Lv Yuqing ignored Chen Hansheng and only talked to Little Yu 'er.
However, Chen Hansheng could always start a topic himself. "Which jacket does my daughter plan to wear when we leave the day after tomorrow?"
"It hasn't been decided yet."
Xiao Rongyu was slightly dazed. She had never thought about this. "Anything is fine as long as it's not cold on the plane."
"It's a private plane. The temperature will definitely be adjusted according to the baby's needs."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile. "My mom bought a red festive cotton-padded jacket for the baby during the Spring Festival. You can put it on her. That is the most expensive jacket that Empress Dowager Liang has ever bought."
"Oh."
Xiao Rongyu had no opinion. That cotton-padded jacket was indeed beautiful.
However, Xiao Rongyu did not expect that Little Silly Bag also had this cotton-padded jacket.
… …
(There is one more chapter tonight. The foreshadowing of the cotton-padded jacket is in chapter 998. Looking for a monthly vote. Thank you.)
